and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:11).

the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and
the waves roaring; (Luke 21:25)

… Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after
those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be

Jesus
is giving a series of prophecies about what to look for as the age of grace
comes to a close. These verses are several of many such prophecies from
throughout the Bible. 2017 was the worst year in recorded history for the
intensity, frequency, severity, duration and occurrence of a large number of
severe natural disasters worldwide. Earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes,
typhoons, cyclones, torrential flooding, unprecedented wildfires in unusual
places, devastating droughts, excessive/scorching heat setting records
everywhere, record snowfalls in Europe and Russia. Snow in the Arabia. This
list can go on. Most studied eschatologists believe these ‘fearful sights’ and
massive natural disasters are all part of the ‘CONVERGENCE’ of signs that this
Biblical and prophetic age is closing. Most people who study prophecy are
familiar with the routine reference(s) made that these things will be like
a woman having labor pains that occur in greater severity, frequency,
size and duration prior to giving birth. End of note.

From earthquakes in Indonesia, flooding in Japan and a volcanic eruption in Guatemala,thousands have lost their lives in natural disasters in 2018, and hundreds of thousands more were injured or displaced. The ongoing deadly wildfires in California underscore how rapidly natural disasters can become deadly.

Here are 10 of the deadliest natural disasters in 2018, according to data from the Centre forResearch on the Epidemiology of Disasters, based in Belgium.

10. Greece: Wildfires

Deaths: 126

Fierce
wildfires tore through a coastal area of Greece in
late July. While most victims died in the fire, some drowned in the sea as they
attempted to flee the flames, according
to news reports.

9. Papua New Guinea: Earthquake

Deaths: 145

A 7.5
magnitude earthquake struck the Southern Highlands province of Papua New Guinea
in February, triggering a major aftershock and some landslides. Close to half a
million people were affected by the disaster, according to ReliefWeb.

8. North Korea: Floods

Deaths: 151

Heavy rains
at the end of August and in early September caused dangerous flooding and
landslides in North Korea, which destroyed more than 800 buildings,
the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies reported.

7. Pakistan: Heat Wave

Deaths: 180

Temperatures
in the Pakistani city of Karachi stayed above 104 degrees
Fahrenheit for several days in May, according
to news reports. The heat wave coincided with power cuts and Ramadan, a
month when many Muslims refrain from eating or drinking during the daytime.
Most of those who died were from poor areas, and included children and elderly
people, the reports said.

Torrential
rain and landslides impacted large areas of Japan in
July, killing more than 200 people. Officials said the flooding was particularly
bad because much of the rain fell in mountainous areas and funneled down into
cities, CNN reported. In Uwajima, a city on Japan’s Shikoku island,
local news stations reported that almost 15 inches of rain fell in two hours on
one Sunday morning, according to CNN’s report.

4. India: Floods

Deaths: 361

Monsoon
flooding in India killed more
than 300 people in August, mostly in the southern Indian state of
Kerala. The Kerala government said many victims died after being crushed by
debris after landslides, the BBC reported.
Officials said it was the worst flood recorded in 100 years.

3. Guatemala: Volcanic Eruption

Deaths: 425

When
Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupted in early June, surrounding areas were soon
engulfed in a deadly pyroclastic flow, a mixture of hot gas and volcanic rock
that can move at speeds up to 90 miles per hour, according to The New York Times. The ground was so hot
in areas that the soles of some rescue workers’ boots were coming apart.

2. Indonesia: Earthquake

Deaths: 468

On Aug.
5, a
6.9 magnitude earthquake struck the Indonesian island of Lombok and
neighboring Bali. The earthquake was preceded with a 6.4 magnitude quake in
late July, and the areas also were hit with a number of aftershocks.
